Description

Houses of the Holy is the fifth studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on 28 March 1973 by Atlantic Records. It is their first album composed of entirely original material and it represents a turning point in musical direction for the band, who had begun to record songs with more layering and production techniques.Containing some of the band's most famous songs, including "The Song Remains the Same", "The Rain Song", and "No Quarter", Houses of the Holy became a commercial success, and was later certified 11x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in 1999. In 2012, the album was ranked at #148 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The title track was originally recorded for the album, but was delayed until the release of band's next album Physical Graffiti in 1975.

I have been enjoying these Zeppelin remasters The album is remastered well. I would say marginally better than the 1994 remasters I have, but I am not an audiophile, on my headphones and speakers they sound about the same. The new remasters have more clarity though, but are not "louded up" like some remasters. The bonus material is enjoyable, with mostly instrumental and alternate takes that are kind of a behind scenes of the original songs. Hearing the instrumental versions is very nice, because usually Plant's vocals are the main focal point of the songs. I have the cd set, which I recommend. For the same price, you get the album artwork and booklet. Though with the Deluxe set, it does not reproduce the exact artwork, instead of the full original back cover, we get the "inverted" image of the front cover (sigh).
